Been there for the first time. Located at the main road through Brtonigla, nothing special on the outside. We decided to leave the choice of food to the chef.

Although maybe not the nicest setting, the food and the service covers it all. We've had pasta with truffels as appetizer and then enjoyed mussels and fish - greatly prepared with a special smile from the owner. this was the first time we were there by reccomendation, but certainly not the last.
